superb 卓越的，極佳的

來(lái)自拉丁語(yǔ) superbus,卓越的，壯觀的，等同于 super,在上，超過(guò)，be,存在，成為。

superb: superb: [16] Etymologically, superb denotes being ‘a(chǎn)bove’. It comes ultimately from Latin super ‘a(chǎn)bove, over’, which with the addition of the suffix *bh- produced superbus. This had the sense ‘superior’, and it also, from the notion of being ‘a(chǎn)bove oneself’, of thinking oneself ‘superior’, came to mean ‘proud’. English acquired it via Old French superbe.
=> super
superb (adj.): 1540s, "noble, magnificent" (of buildings, etc.), from Latin superbus "grand, proud, splendid; haughty, vain, insolent," from super "above, over" (see super-). The second element perhaps is from PIE root *bhe- "to be." General sense of "very fine" developed by 1729. Related: Superbious (c. 1500); superbly.
